The problem will be patched in the next version of plugin. To solve issue before release, could you try replacing line #672 in _permalink-manager/out/permalink-manager-admin.js_ file manually? * `custom_uri_field.attr('disabled', 'disabled');` * with: * `custom_uri_field.attr('readonly', 'readonly');` * [https://github.com/maciejbis/Permalink-Manager/blob/master/out/permalink-manager-admin.js#L672C10-L672C10](https://github.com/maciejbis/Permalink-Manager/blob/master/out/permalink-manager-admin.js#L672C10-L672C10) - This reply was modified 2 years, 8 months ago by [Maciej Bis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbis/). * Plugin Author [Maciej Bis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbis/) * (@mbis) * [2 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/force-permalink-not-work-when-quick-edit/#post-17125135) * I have not heard from you, so I assume you have resolved the issue.

The slug should be the same url as the permalink field no ? * Many thanks ! * Thread Starter [calyweb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/calyweb/) * (@calyweb) * [2 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/force-permalink-not-work-when-quick-edit/#post-17152717) * I see also this even if i open the single product page and update. The slug remains the old one anyway … * Plugin Author [Maciej Bis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbis/) * (@mbis) * [2 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/force-permalink-not-work-when-quick-edit/#post-17152736) * Hi [@calyweb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/calyweb/), * I am not exactly certain if I got the point. I will try to explain it to make it more clear. * Once the slug is saved, **it will not be automatically updated**. Without Permalink Manager, WordPress will use it directly as part of the product’s permalink. * If the plugin is enabled, the original product permalink with that slug should be changed by the Permalink Manager-controlled custom permalink. * You can find more detailed explanation in the below article: [https://permalinkmanager.pro/docs/plugin-settings/wordpress-slugs-explained/#what-is-a-wordpress-slug-in-a-nutshell](https://permalinkmanager.pro/docs/plugin-settings/wordpress-slugs-explained/#what-is-a-wordpress-slug-in-a-nutshell) * Thread Starter [calyweb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/calyweb/) * (@calyweb) * [2 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/force-permalink-not-work-when-quick-edit/#post-17152746) * Hi, * Yes that’s the problem, the original slug is not changed and it always remain here (like the screenshot) You can see that the slug does not correspond to the one of permalink * Thread Starter [calyweb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/calyweb/) * (@calyweb) * [2 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/force-permalink-not-work-when-quick-edit/#post-17152749) * It miss the v (vcaps) * Plugin Author [Maciej Bis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbis/) * (@mbis) * [2 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/force-permalink-not-work-when-quick-edit/#post-17152828) * Okay, I understand. That is how it works by design. You can replicate the same behavior even if Permalink Manager is disabled. * The product slug is created only once upon publication, and unless you make changes manually, it will not be updated again. This is done on purpose to avoid frequent changes to the slug, which is not just a part of the native URL but also an identifier in addition to the numeric ID. * If you would like to force WordPress to automatically update the slug whenever the title is changed you can either use an additional plugin: * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/automatically-update-permalinks/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/automatically-update-permalinks/) * or below code snippet: * ```wp-block-code function pm_update_product_slug_on_title_change( $data, $postarr ) { // Check if this is a 'product' post type and the title has changed. if ( $postarr['post_type'] == 'product' && $data['post_title'] !== $postarr['post_title'] ) { // Generate a new slug from the updated title. $new_slug = sanitize_title( $postarr['post_title'] ); // Update the post_name (slug) in the data array. $data['post_name'] = $new_slug; } return $data; } add_filter( 'wp_insert_post_data', 'pm_update_product_slug_on_title_change', 10, 2 ); ``` * Thread Starter [calyweb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/calyweb/) * (@calyweb) * [2 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/force-permalink-not-work-when-quick-edit/#post-17152866) * Hi, * Thanks for your feedback * So for understand, on you side, which element do you update ?

As they can be fully customized, they do not need to have the slugs included. However, by default, they follow the original permalink structure, which includes the slugs. * The snippet I sent you will automatically **update only the slugs whenever a product title is changed**. This would also affect the original product permalinks( used when the plugin is disabled). You can see this clearly when Permalink Manager is temporarily deactivated. * As the plugin overwrites the original product permalinks with the custom permalinks, the custom permalinks are updated in a different (simpler) way. In the plugin settings you can enable auto-update mode: * [https://permalinkmanager.pro/docs/basics/automatically-update-the-permalinks/#2-auto-update-custom-permalinks](https://permalinkmanager.pro/docs/basics/automatically-update-the-permalinks/#2-auto-update-custom-permalinks) * To sum up, if you use the above snippet and have auto-update switched on for custom permalinks, any changes to the product’s title **automatically update both the slug itself and slug inside the custom permalink** to the same value. * Thread Starter [calyweb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/calyweb/) * (@calyweb) * [2 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/force-permalink-not-work-when-quick-edit/#post-17153946) * Thanks for the explanation 🙂 * Thread Starter [calyweb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/calyweb/) * (@calyweb) * [2 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/force-permalink-not-work-when-quick-edit/#post-17169970) * I just found another bug, * When you duplicate a product to create a new one, it creates a draft, i change the title, and when i click on update normally (without permalink manager), the slug is updated with the name of the product, but now with permalink, i always have the previous name that stay here, please check the screenshot * [https://ibb.co/QjKdNft](https://ibb.co/QjKdNft) * Thread Starter [calyweb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/calyweb/) * (@calyweb) * [2 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/force-permalink-not-work-when-quick-edit/#post-17169972) * I have to click on the blue button update a second time to make the permalink change * Plugin Author [Maciej Bis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbis/) * (@mbis) * [2 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/force-permalink-not-work-when-quick-edit/#post-17169985) * If you use “**Yoast Duplicate Post**” plugin, this is not the bug. The custom permalink is copied from the parent page with the rest of the post object. * To disable this please add add “_custom\_uri_” to “_Do not copy these fields_” in “Duplicate Post Options“: * ![](https://i0.wp.com/i.imgur.com/kEhyDHw.png?ssl=1) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 18 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/force-permalink-not-work-when-quick-edit/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/force-permalink-not-work-when-quick-edit/page/2/?output_format=md) The topic ‘Force Permalink not work when quick edit’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/permalink-manager/assets/icon.svg?rev=2625166) * [Permalink Manager Lite](https://wordpress.org/plugins/permalink-manager/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/permalink-manager/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/permalink-manager/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/permalink-manager/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/permalink-manager/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/permalink-manager/reviews/) * 18 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [calyweb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/calyweb/) * Last activity: [2 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/force-permalink-not-work-when-quick-edit/page/2/#post-17171045) * Status: resolved
